Today I am preparing for my trip. I have a backpack, a top loader and I've started putting the things I will need later at the bottom:
hiking boots
neoprene boots for crossing streams
hat with mosquito net
You get the picture, yes? African Queen, with mosquitos, without the Africa.
I am excited, but not prepared. I haven't read anything -- I guess I prefer to be surprised and read afterwards. It is a strange habit, but I am consistent on all trips. The most I do is study the transportation and accommodations.
But before I go, I must get the garden in order -- or semi-order. This means, finally put the tomatoes into their final resting place and the last of the basil.
Wish me luck, see you tomorrow.

Julie--
ReplyDeleteSam showed me your blog and I am excited to read about all of the things you will be doing in Alaska.
And don't worry about the garden while you are gone, we will try our best to make you proud!
Have a safe and fun trip!

I'm the same way: go now, read about it later. Never planned it this way, but in the end, you get to see the new place with fresh eyes, unfiltered by other people's perceptions -- not a bad way to travel.
